cardsfan Posted July 29, 2011 Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I can bid on a 2 star hotel, BUT there is no 2 star hotel inside the map boundaries. I've identified several 2 1/2 star properties; Holiday Inn express, Wingate and Hlton Garden Inn.The Comfort Inn 2 star is not inside the map boundaries. What do you think the 2 star is? Or will I get bumped up to a 2 1/2 star? There is also a Staybridge suites- what star level would that be?THANKS. Link to comment

Once in a great while there can be a mapping error. You may have found one. On the retail side, they list the Comfort Inn as the only 2*. They don't list a Staybridge. I've seen a Staybridge in another city that was a 2 1/2*, but that doesn't prove a great deal.When hotels appear on both the retail and bidding sides, they do have the same star rating (or should). However, there can be hotels on either side that don't appear on the other. Are you hoping to get the Comfort Inn or avoid it? Romelle Link to comment
cardsfan Posted July 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2011 I do not want the Comfort Inn- it is too far away from where I want to be- and it is not in the mapped area.I am hoping to avoid the Hilton Garden Inn- it is listed as 2 1/2 on the retail side. If I bid on 3 star only- will that ensure I do not get the Hilton Garden inn? Link to comment

If I bid on 3 star only- will that ensure I do not get the Hilton Garden inn?If you get the Comfort Inn, and can show Priceline it isn't within the mapped area, that is one of the very few reasons people get a refund.If you bid 3*, you won't be awarded any 2 1/2* hotels. Priceline can (and does) upgrade, but they don't downgrade.RomelleWhat dates will you be bidding?There is a direct line from this site to Priceline - top right hand corner of this page.
